was dressing up a bit today. It made me feel more professional and I received some compliments too. I can clean up nice!

was playing vball tonite. Our team isn't doing that great (meaning we can't really seem to win unless the other team forfeits) but we had a good night tonight and we won one of the games. We all played really well.

was the smell of funfetti cake that drifted through the apartment tonite. It's not for me...it's for work (which is a good thing, because I got weighed at the dr. yesterday and I shouldn't really eat anything for a while!). There's nothing better than the smell of a cake baking in the oven.

Tuesday, January 20, 2009

January 20, 2009

The best thing about today...

was working a half day. It was a nice change of pace during this hectic week.

was that I got a clean bill of health from the doctor today. That is good news!

was looking at more houses. It wasn't so much the houses that were enjoyable, it was chatting with our realtor. He is a very chatty and friendly man and I'm glad we're working with him. I'm also glad that his blood pressure is down and the doctor is happy.

was going to church with Dan. I'm sure next time we'll sit more towards the front, because kids are very noisy in the back.

was cuddling on the couch with my doggies. I let them up on the couch and we snuggled for a while. I miss my cuddle time with them!

was looking at a house. Even though it's not one we really liked, it's still fun to get out and look! We should have more appointments this week.

Saturday, January 17, 2009

Thursday, January 8, 2009

January 8, 2008

The best thing about today...

was that it was a much better day than yesterday!

was that a co-worker was back after being gone for a few days. It makes a difference when someone is gone, so it's good to have everyone back!

was/is that we only have one more sleep before our mini-getaway to Door County!!!!!!!!

Wednesday, January 7, 2009

January 7, 2009

The best thing about today...

was that it's over. I ended the day curled up in bed, talking to my wonderful husband and wondering why it was such a bad day and how to never get that crabby again. I was so crabby that I gave myself a time out in my room because if I did one more thing or one more thing happened, I might explode! Let's hope that tomorrow is a better day!

Tuesday, January 6, 2009

January 6, 2009

The best thing about today...

was the GIANT cinnamon roll I received as a gift. It's bigger than my head and smells delicious!

was the laughter that echoed throughout my room at work.

Monday, January 5, 2009

January 5, 2009

The best thing about today...

was that my breadstick bud turned 30 today (Happy Birthday, Megs)! I'm so happy that we've reconnected and been able to spend some time together. She's as great a friend now as she was 11+ years ago.

was that my stomach didn't start growling until 3:45pm. Since all I did was eat over break, I assumed I would be starving all day. That was a nice surprise.

was that I wore my elastic pants to work. Until I lose a little of the muffin top I've developed over the past 6 months, I'm not comfortable in pants that button. So, it's stretchy waist bands for now!

was that the marker that was drawn down the leg of my pants is washable and I won't need to throw out my pants. This is another reason why I can't have nice things.

was coming home to get a hug from my hubby. We spent a lot of time together over break and it was hard saying goodbye this morning. Coming home this afternoon was that much more exciting, knowing I would get to see him!

Sunday, January 4, 2009

January 4, 2009

January 3, 2009

The best thing about today...

was celebrating Christmas with the cousins. There were lots of kids, lots of food, lots of laughs and lots of hugs. I love my family!!

was realizing that I don't like to cook under pressure. I love to spend time in the kitchen cooking/baking, but I do much better when I'm not under a time crunch. If I'm rushed, then there ends up being sweet potatoes on the wall, cheese on the floor, and pizza dough in the garbage. It's better if I can take my time.

Friday, January 2, 2009

January 2, 2009

The best thing about today...

was that I was able to spend time with my family as we said good-bye to my grandfather (who passed away on Dec. 29).

was FINALLY getting home after the funeral and lots of errands and being able to relax!

Thursday, January 1, 2009

January 1, 2009

The best thing about today...

was that I was able to kiss my husband at midnight. Yes, I said "husband", not boyfriend, not fiancee, but "husband". I love being married to Dan and I love that I can call him my husband.

was that we (Dan and I) continued our tradition of going to George Webb's on New Years Day. We get up, shower, go to eat at Webb's, then come home and put our jammies back on.

was that I found the idea of this blog from my bff, Mel. It's a great idea and I hope it continues to catch on!
